I made this little guy (a modification of a Jean Greenhowe pattern) to tuck into Liat's suitcase before she left for Poland. I sewed a little bag for him, and attached a tag that said "A hug from home." I hid it with her pajamas, knowing she would find it on the first night, and she did.
She sent me a text message that she really loved it, and mentioned it again when we spoke last night. The idea was that whenever she felt she needed a hug, she could squeeze this little guy (he fits right in the palm of the hand) and know that I was sending her a hug.
What can I say? I'm corny like that.

Aw, that is SOOO sweet! :D
I think that is such a special touch that she will long remember and pass on to her children.
Oh Amy,
How so thoughtful... mommy you have let her know she is being thought about and cared for and that will make the trip better for her.You give her strength by doing this.
You made my day .
You're a good mommy! Adopt me? ;)
She will remember this for a long time. That was so sweet of you and yes, corny but the kids appreciate corny even when they say they don't. I think this is a great idea that your girls could give to their friends. How long does it take to make one?
